Lanvin Casts 62-Year-Old Tziporah Salamon in Their Fall 2012 Campaign

Now that Vogue.it has released the full Lanvin campaign, I am excited to reveal the fact that 62 year old Tziporah Salamon is one of the stars of this ground breaking ad. Tziporah is a well known personal stylist, fashion consultant, and performance artist living in New York. A favorite of Bill Cunningham's and one of the stars of my book and upcoming documentary, this is Tziporah's first appearance in a major fashion ad campaign. I asked Tziporah how it feels to be recognized by a major fashion label and she told me," I am totally honored, jazzed, and thrilled. I am so grateful for this opportunity. In my early 20s I would have never realized that I could do something like this. It wasn't until I was in my 40s that I began to see my beauty. By then I felt that there weren't many opportunities for older models. How ironic is it that i am having my big break as a model in my 60s? This is a great day!"

Bravo to Lanvin for recognizing advanced beauty in this wonderful campaign!!!

it's been a delight for years to see Ms. Salamon around town, whether on her bike, on a bus, or strolling along. She always sets a very high style standard, full of wit, whimsy, and a great sense of color, proportion and costume history.

Loved the video! She is so right about how long it takes to find out that what a person does is not vain and to recognize themselves as artist. Using the body as a canvas is living art, I truly admire folks that are creative in their own style and can show it to the world, what a blessing.

If I am half as glamorous as Tziporah when I am sixty I would be the happiest woman alive, it is great to see designers branching of from the stereotypical type cast and exploring a whole new dimension of fashion!

Some women fade as they age, others blossom. This lady has it taped. As I have aged, I have not changed my style one iota. Still wear big hats and very high heels -- in all colours. Just turned 65 and bought four more hats, including a cowboy variety for The Calgary Stampede. Never let them see the whites of your eyes!

I have the great honor to know this magnificent woman. She is indeed a beautiful painting - both inside and out. Matisse and Picasso in one. I am blessed to have this person as a "member of family who finds each other" - Creation, skilled artist and fellow Hungarian all in tandem.. How blessed we are..
